It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy a little joe …
Welcome to another rousing edition of Black Coffee, your off-beat weekly round-up of what’s been going on in the world of money and personal finance.
Well … another busy week is behind us. Unfortunately I just spent all of it in bed …
And all I can say is: “Did anybody get the number of that truck?” 😉
I started feeling a bit fatigued very early in the morning on Sunday, July 10th (around 2 in the morning). It was all downhill from there. By Sunday evening I was clearly in the midst of something that felt like the flu. On Monday evening I was so weak I could barely move. I was ravaged with some severe body aches and even my teeth hurt. Not surprisingly, I tested positive for COVID shortly thereafter.
Long story short … the COVID bug drank this week’s Black Coffee!
For those who are interested, yes, I had a stash of ivermectin on hand, which I started taking after the positive COVID test (along with high doses of vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc, and quercetin). My steep downhill slide reversed course a few hours after taking the first dose of ivermectin and the vitamins and minerals.
One last thing: There are a lot of recent comments left on various articles – both old and new. Since I’m still not 100%, it may take a few days before I can finally respond to them. Thank you for your patience.

Ditto. Prayers of healing and strength. You will be back to your normal “brew” soon.
Thank you, CO2. It is now Tuesday morning and I am now about 90%.
I’m pretty confident I should have a full cup of joe on tap for this week.
Glad the Ivermectin & vitamins are helping, Len! I’ve heard that ice cream may also help in these situations. ;o) Seriously, I had no idea how addicted I’d become to reading “Black Coffee” with MY coffee on Saturday mornings until it wasn’t there yesterday! I hope the rest of your family stays well, and hope you’re all better for next week’s B.C! :o)
Thank you, Lauren. As for the ice cream, I have had no appetite for more than a week – which has led to a nice side effect of me losing about six pounds.
Hopefully I can keep it off!
Hi Len,
I’m glad you’re getting better! I figured something was wrong when there was no Black Coffee by Sat eve. I just came back tonight on the off chance the new one would finally be up – and it was! (Although it was a short one, understandably!)

Thank you, Sara.
Thanks for the update You are so faithful with the BC I figured something was up. I did offer you in prayer Sun am when it was still not up. I hope the rest of your family stays well.
I appreciate your prayers, Chris. I quarantined myself all week; so far the rest of the fam is fine.
Len, Daughter Carolyn has been researching Covid and its implications ever since it broke out.
She had Covid herself and treated it as you are: Ivomectin, etc., and is now symptom-free after about a year.
All the best, Len! God bless you.
Yeppers! Ivermectin, Doxycycline, 5000 IU of D3. Glad you’re on the mend. You had the same experience that I did — I felt better within hours of starting the IVM.
Cheers!
I didn’t have the doxycycline in my regimen, Carolyn; I need to look into that.
I am totally sold on the ivermectin. I don’t think it is coincidence that there is a low incidence of COVID in Africa, where much of the population routinely takes ivermectin to ward off malaria and other parasitic diseases.
Thank you, Dave.
Hang in there, Len. I had last year. It was a tough week with lingering effects for about 2 weeks total. You’ll get through it though.
Thanks, Cowpoke!
Get well soon.
Thank you, Sam.
Get better soon, Len! And thank goodness for Ivermectin! Hubby and I took it every 15 days as a preventative here in our Outpost of the Empire and although we have many of the “danger characteristics ” we never got it.
Hope your family stays healthy, too.
Ivermectin is a wonder drug. With billions of doses taken over decades, it should be an OTC medication by now – but it’s not. It used to be pennies a pill; unfortunately, Big Pharma and government have teamed up to make it not only harder to acquire, but also more expensive now. Talk about criminal cartels.
I’m sending prayers for your healing, and strength. You’ll need it. Mr. Dave, and I have been resting up.
😄 You’re the best, Bill. Thank you.
